Eric and I were talking last night about horses. We went on a trail ride last weekend, and we had a blast. So, we were talking about the different breeds, where horses originated from (I know all this stuff because I was obsessed as a kid and had to know EVERYTHING, haha), how much it costs to own one, etc. Eric said he'd like me to teach him to ride, and even went so far as to suggest that maybe we can buy a horse sometime in the future. (!!!) How cool a guy is he? :) I would absolutely love to own a horse again. And they are so cheap right now--you can easily get a really nice horse for under $1k because so many people have lost their jobs, etc., and can't keep them anymore. While I don't regret giving Baloo up, I've always regretted that I didn't have the means to keep him, send him to training, etc. So if I (we?) get another horse, I want to make damn sure I can keep him/her for the horse's entire life. But anyway, we're just dreaming... ;)
I've been trying to get on the trainer more often lately. I've ridden for at least 30 minutes Saturday, Sunday and Monday. I'm riding Riley tonight, so I'll probably stay off the trainer for today.

Well it would certainly be a new experience for me, and I am always into that. And, it'd be a boatload of fun, and I know it'd make you smile, which is always a great thing :-)
Aw, you two are too cute! E(vil)- you never had me fooled. Ha! 'Fooster' would be s great name for a horse!
